Day 411 - 27/10/2014 : Nuria shrinre snowed

Núria is a popular place of pilgrimage. Sited at an altitude of almost 2000 metres, it provides not just a natural shelter among the high peaks, but also a spiritual oasis whose history can be traced to ancient origins and traditions.

It is the ideal space in which to organize retreats and periods for meditation and prayer.The priests and the team that look after the sanctuary are at your service to provide a haven of spirituality, with a solemn participative liturgy and the added atmosphere of organ music.

The most representative feast around Nuria sanctuary is held by 8 Sep, on the birth date of the Virgin Mary, bringing together a large number of people christened with the name Núria. After the mass, the image of the Virgin is carried to the hermitage of Saint Giles, where hymns are sung to her.

Another way to sightseeing, undoubtedly !
